Today was fairly simple we walked up a hill, drove back to Alice, shopped and resumed our position at the racecourse overflow.
The walk up the hill was a moderately difficult climb up a 100 mtr high hill to be rewarded by an absolutely magnificent panoramic view. It was actually called the Panorama Walk and was slated for 90 minutes. Elaine did the walk with me which was quite a feat for her and we made it in not much more than the scheduled time. The climb up was a series of rock stairs of various natural shapes and sizes and required quite a bit of energy, down was sloping paths and in actual walking distance much longer. Three cheers Elaine and congrats to the Rangers who designed the walk and placed pointers so that we would not get lost. I have remarked before that a lot of effort goes into preparing these walks that I have now encountered in lots of  places. I should also comment that the campground was also well prepared with built in bbq's, gazebos and marked out more or less level camp sites.
The drive back to town was just that and the shopping a pain like shopping always is and on this occasion we had to stock up for a few weeks until we next get to the major supermarkets. Now we are back at the racecourse and their race meeting is winding up, so hopefully we will have a quiet night.
